"Rich" (by rich, I mean people who are no poor) have to give a little to help the poorest, that's how it should work.
Well, of course, it has to be done fairly and not cause abuse, which is the hardest, but it's all for the best.

Then you would be middle class, now you are getting your taxes back. Before you were giving it to someone else.

Of course, 194 is your total. A big chunk of that SS, which you will get back. The other the other $144 is almost completely split between medicaid and the military.

Lets see, health care or more bombs?

Keep in mind too that 194 is a very cheap price. Imagine if you had to pay a subscription fee to post offices, soldiers, government officials, maintaining roads, police, and firemen. If you opted for just one subscription to any of these, it would cost you more than 194 per check.

Next time you drive down the street, keep in mind that you are using millions sometimes billions of dollars of street, for $194 per check. That is a pretty good deal.

Most people who complain about taxes, are looking for a handout.

I mean, without you paying $194 and the politicians giving it away to subsidize food and oil, you couldn't even afford to drive to work.

I don't like paying taxes on things that I don't get the benefits of. Medicaid is one of those types of programs. That is why I always supported medicaid for all. That way everyone pays for it, and everyone uses it. Instead we have Medicaid for more than before and a mandate to have some sort of insurance. I guess that is an improvement, but I was hoping for more. I think the rich should be able to use medicaid too. I mean, they most likely wouldn't use it, because of lower quality.... But they should have that option.

I don't own a car either.
it's not so much that I don't like taxes it's just I don't think I'll be using medicaid.
if I can't see my self using it I don't want you taking it out of my pay.
who pays for just in case :???:

the other big scams are life insurance and bottled water.

Fine if we can't use your stuff, you can't use our stores, sidewalks, phones, cell phones, electrical grid, or anything else that we provide you.

Hello... You wouldn't have any stuff, if it wasn't for taxes.

Unless you are some sort of 1650 farmer or something.

You can move ya know. There are lots of countries that hardly pay any taxes. They are easy to find. Just look at for the ones with the highest infant mortality rates and highest amount of poor people.

Why am I talking to you though, you last post proves that you are not even trying to understand. I said roads and oil and you acted like you don't use them. How does your stuff get to you again?

Like I said, everyone that complains about paying taxes are looking for a handout. They are almost as bad as the people who purposefully live on welfare.

Save your complaints about $194. Shit man, there are people on this forum that don't receive any of the benefits that you get just by living under our tax system and economy. They would happily pay $194 for a safe work environment, firemen, roads, food, and especially our oil prices. (Have you seen their oil prices, your "Stuff" is affordable because of our taxes)

Complaining about $194 when you are using billions of dollars every day makes you sound like a spoiled little rich fuck. If you don't like it, move.

I don't give a shit about our oil prices.
I had to move all my stuff manually anyway. Plus if I need a ride I can pay for it even if it's at a higher cost.
That goes for utilities as well. Roads yeah I guess I do use those but they could be funded with out taxes.


You act like America is the only country out here when quite alot of people on these forums are not from here.
We don't have the same standards for living conditions. I guess you think the amish must be living third world too.

He doesn't know. I will try to translate though.

He doesn't give a shit about oil prices, because he thinks all that Chinese shit he owns flew here by carrier pigeon.

He thinks that he can afford to pay the higher cost, if we don't subsidize oil, yet he complains about $194. $10 a gallon must be cheap to him I guess.

He feels that he can pay the un-subsidized cost of his utilities. He must have billions laying around to build and maintain a power plant, or feels that businesses would charge him less to build one without tax payer money. He must also feel that they will be safer without government oversight.

He also wants businesses to build the roads for billions of dollars and then charge him a toll to walk or drive on them, even after they have recouped the cost. Because paying tolls forever is much cheaper than taxes to maintain the.

In short, I would say he read a Ron Paul book, but I don't think he is a big reader, so he listened to some radio program or news channel that is regurgitating and misquoting Ron Paul.

He also can't read, because he said I acted like the forum was only Americans or Estadounidense when I obviously told him to look at the gas prices that foreigners pay and told him to go to a country that doesn't have taxes. Chad and Darfur maybe don't, those are great places to live.

He also doesn't realize that most European countries have free healthcare and many have a higher health rating according to the UN.

He also brought up Amish people, who don't pay taxes unless they work in our society like Missbe does. Yet..... He doesn't join them, he just complains about our system. He wants the benefits of our taxes (Unlike the Amish) But he doesn't want to pay them. Like I said, hand out.

I think Riptides saying he'd be happy to pay for private roads(such as toll roads) or private electric providers, etc.(such as buying a personal generator I guess). What he's saying is he'd rather buy EVERYTHING ZOMG from private businesses rather than pay taxes for huge public services, not realizing the high cost and the essential problems this would cause, as Shamrock pointed out.

all we are doing is talking in the first place.
you would not know if I ever when this rough in the first place i don't see why you made that useless comment
on a stupid argument.
there are so many things I want to say right now about this derailment but I will say people sure do like to take things to the extreme and  put words in your mouth.

I understand you not. You seem to be attacking self sufficiency which is completely logical. do you like paying an arm and a leg for things you can produce your self. I would assume you are a consumer or are in an consumer culture. I asume that they are not many producing based jobs near where you live. I will also assume that you are white coral and that everyone around you is as well and that you like to buy designer brans as opposed an item of equal quality at a lower price.

You do not value hand made items or understand the pleasure of leaning to fix something your self.
Why, because the consumer culture around you has modeled you into believing that you need this new electric device
because it's the modern age and everyone else has one.
To be modern is to be superior to what was is old or what is from nature.
This is because our current human culture is all about progression to the point of destroying them self. they are only looking At their wants and forget that they share the planet with millions or other species. Of course we are superior to them
we rule the planet. However we are doing a really bad job as we throw the ecosystem out of balance by overpopulation through our cultivation of edible plants.
We forget that we are animals too and and are built from the same stuff as the other creatures we look down upon.
sometimes it's best to take a step back and look at our selves for what we really are. I think it's easier to do this is you reject societies collective psychosocial slant by taking the time to do some things in a more primitive way.


by the way don't start shit with me when I'm sleepy or I will fuck with your mind.

why would you pay 20 dollars to a plumber to fix your sink when you can do it for free, except that you will spend the whole fucking afternoon at it (4+hours)  and you normally get paid 10 an hour thus it will cost you twice, that assuming you won't fuck up tehplumbing which you will most likely, thus having to spend twice or more teh amount of money on material for sink fixing.

He trying to go off the original complaint of taxes in order to "Blow your mind"

He acts as if there are no taxes in farming, Amish communities, or hunter gatherer communities.

Instead of $194 dollars you will have to work for a week or a month or a year on construction, or a farm, or at least bring back the food to the others. That too is a tax free labor. Your retarded comment about "I keep mine and you keep yours" in those kind of communities would get you banished. You are a lucky fucker, because you are born in this tax based society where we can't kick you the fuck out.

He also acts like these communities are free of wrecking the ecosystem, when farmers are the number one killer of the environment. They have done worse than even nuclear disasters. They may only be beat by paper mills that use the rain forest.

You should read the rest of the thread and you will know who I was talking about.

Pretentious my ass. Riptide continually admits to not reading the news and shit and states that nothing ever concerns him. If you find these simple facts I am stating pretentious, then you too have an issue. By your definition of pretentious, anyone who corrects a moron is pretentious.

Next time you use that word, make sure that you are not calling yourself an idiot and are calling the other person pretentious.  "Pretentious" is a dangerous word if not used correctly. Kinda like saying certain words are "Big words" If a guy says, "usher? that sure is a big word" Then you know he is a idiot.

No he is not. he's not talking about obama.
he is accusing me of being the hand me this hand me that type.
I was joking in my last post this one I'm not.

pretentious isn't the proper word in this context anyhow.

I’m mad about the taxes because I’m paying for something I’m not using currently and may never use.
Sure road tax is a good thing but not when the state could do the job at a lower price.

Let me tell you something shamrock. Employees at the Denver mint get played a whole lot more than I do to do a lot less. And they retire with their full fucking salary. Now the mint might not take tax money I don’t think they do but the government pays well. Very well in most of their departments. Most of my family is government so I know second hand if not first. I could go work at the mint too and sit on my ass doing little work. It’s a cool ass job but, I’d rather stay in collage so I can be a biochemist. I’m working construction on the weekends so I can pay back the school and the government for my financial aid.

Yeah I know there are other opportunities;  hell ROTC is here and the military will help me out with tuition but I would not join the military for their benefits. I would join if the country needed to defend itself from a serious attack or if I just wanted to kill people. I think the army is getting soft anyway. I hate that advertisement for putting greens at their basses in Afghanistan.
But I digress I need the money to pay for collage something you wouldn’t know about even if you went, I’m thinking  you don’t half to pay.
And you talk about wanting benefits like it’s a bad thing.

wait, the dumbfuck was implying that I did not go to collAge ? everybody goes to collAge !

the whole damed post wasn't even directed at you. Fuck I hate talking to you.


@MissBHaven, Yeah I went to school. I want to give back to the school system I came from if I make a bunch of money. That's a whole nother topic.

Do you know how public schools are funded? 

I'm also guessing that you are in college now?  That you were born in the USA and English is your first language?  I am by no means a spelling nazi, I make my share of mistakes and typos and I often have (not "half" to, HAVE to) to use a spell checker of some kind.  But I really do have to wonder what kind of education you got and how you managed to be accepted into any kind of undergraduate program when you can't even spell college.  Your sentence structure, syntax and verb tense are all awkward.  You tend to write in sentence fragments and leave out words or misuse words in a way that confuse people who's first language is English, let alone the foreign ones who learned the proper way to spell and write English (and trust me on this...  what you are writing is NOT proper English).  You obviously aren't stupid but your writing skills REALLY need work and if you turn in papers that read the way your posts do, you won't last long in college.

So before you go accusing someone of not being able to read, maybe you should make sure that your writing is clearly understandable.  Even by the idiots in this thread.

my whole issue is that Satou Sei~ thought I was talking to him though I clearly said Shamrock in my post. That is what pissed me off because he's done that kind of thing before.

yeah I know my style of writing is awkward, I used to be the stormex. I'm going to be talking writing compositions this fall.

I got excepted to college based on my science and reading scores. I got a 31 in reading on my ACT test. My writing was around
21 if I can remember right. MissBHaven since you are in Ohio I'm going to assume you know enough about the ACT. Since that part of the country takes ACT over SAT test. Though I did stupidly take some SAT subject test cause I though I needed them.

I'm going to say something outrageous: In high school and in collage I seem to do better in based history classes than math which is a subject I like.

yeah I know everyone thinks I'm stupid cause my grammar and spelling is hit and miss and I have some strange beliefs of how the world works. I like to view things from the outside like an alien. Sometimes I become too self aware (no that's not how I mean it.) Not as in aware of my self and all my actions. But aware is in what it is to be human and how far we've come.
Science and biology has corrupted my mind; I've come to believe in utilitarianism.

Only everything inside your mind is known to be real and things from outside cant be verified as true? How the fuck does that work with utilitarianism? That doesnt make sense. Your whole attempt of explaining yourself doesnt make a lick of sense. its like you are picking words that sound good and applying them randomly.


"Oh I believe that the best choice is the one that benefits most people, not the one that is most moral, im also a firm believer that im more important than others, im also a firm believer that only I exist, so the most people that will benefit are not factors, so Im a firm believer that the best choice is the one that benefits the only person I know is real, that would be me."

If you posted all that crap just to say "I dont want to pay taxes because i shouldnt have to and I dont care about anyone else but me" you might as well have just said that.

No I do care about people. I can be altruistic at times even. Solipsism is an evil that my subconscious , no more likely my ID in Freud's trio cooks up. I only give into it when I'm asleep, drunk or really really sleep deprived.

I just don't want to pay some taxes because I think the system would take less money of it had an overhaul to make it more  efficient. The efficiency issue is where the utilitarianism comes in.

utilitarianism is not about eficiency. But about choices. the choice that benefits the most are the ones that a utilitarian believes are the more correct, and not the most moral choice. Thus paying taxes would be a utilitarian tool. You are benefitting the whole of the population instead of yourself.

Utilitarianism is efficient. In order to befit the most people a plan should have maximum efficiency.
Try to think of a system that befits lots of people equally and check if it's efficient or not.
There is nothing that is useful that doesn't need upgrades that's not efficient.
Everything is about efficiency the whole planet operates this way. You're body is more efficient than a car and is also
utilitarian. Each cell works together to befit the whole animal which is the sum of it's cells.

  • all is love in fair and war
in a 3rd world country like ours, paying tax is like pouring water to the sea.

although I pay annual tax for car and the house, and automatically on top of every service I get from garage, in restaurant, or even over telephone, water, and electricity monthly bills.
I don't pay income tax, since I work as a freelancer and mostly get my payment from internet

because when I heard about some stupid issue on tv that our government gives budget of $2000+/month to every member of the board for what they call "intensive communication expenses" basically a budget to be spent on making phone calls for their whole family,
source machine translated
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

or a budget for "workshop" which is literally a sight seeing & shopping tour for the whole department

and on the other hand looking at the state of some less important public roads in my town, or the frequent electricity break down we have, I really think tax money is generously spent but just not for the benefit of the people.

 
those number might sound ridiculously cheap for european or american, but I'm talking about a country where factory workers make apprx $100/month

I swear some of the above people don't get my complaint and want to keep going on about unimportant things.
Like how I'm stating my opposition to the amount being taken out of my income. This whole topic is futile we will never be able to change our government completely to our liking. Hell we can't even get a 3rd part in office.

In the US I can actually see the tax money going toward something useful. When I move there in the next couple months I'll gladly pay whatever they ask. The roads are properly maintained, and emergency services are highly responsive.

I remember when I was in NJ in December and there was a snow storm that blocked roads n shit. People were complaining about the slow response to clean it up and I was like wtf, it's only been 2 days and that's a lot of ground to cover. I was amazed because here, they would have taken a week and a half to do something similar and that would have been considered quick. :P

You're telling the truth. Where I used to live the rodes got redone in 2001 but the last time it was redone was in 1968 when the neighborhood was built.
Fuck it seems in the cities the road is redone ever 5 years. Emergency response time wasn't too bad. I wasn't in the ghetto
but still it might be better to drive.
you guys outside of the US don't really get what the complaints are.
mainly money not being put in the right areas. Don't you think the US should look more homogeneous. We as a rich country should not have areas that look nice next to areas that need to be torn down.

You know what shamrock fuck you. The ghetto pays taxes to and the money from rich areas are distributed in ghetto areas in the same district but they don't always get it. It's not always even.
Oh and the above neighborhood wasn't the fucking hood anyway those people had good jobs.


Also everybody know nicaragua is the second shittyist country in the west. They make Cuba look like Canada.

Umm. Riptide... Your taxes are based on income. Many people don't pay taxes at all. There is this thing called a tax return. It is where they add up your tax breaks and how much you owe based on income. If you are poor, you get it all back.

So if they are in a ghetto, then in theory there are no tax payers because of their income. Most of the taxes they pay are the sales taxes, but because they are poor.... They buy less shit and again there is less taxes for the community.

It is called math.... please use it.

And I would never let you fuck me. Only people who pay taxes and don't bitch about get to fuck me.

they are in the ghetto because they do not make enough money but if you make over ( I think 6000 in a year) you have to pay income tax. people in the ghetto do make more than that. Also they do spend money on clothes and shit.

Edit at Rednavi. It isn't all that cracked up though. Property value and food prices are to high for them to live and eat really, but they don't pay taxes. In fact, we give them food and healthcare through medicad. Better than other countries, but not good for a country that is so rich.

There are some people here, that are better off being poor actually. I mean if you make $7000 you still can't afford shit, but you don't get healthcare and shit.

We have been lowering taxes for along time. The entire country's roads and highway system was built when the taxes were 70% of our income and most people had a job, and healthcare back then.

But then came the antitax movement. See Reagan or What Bush Senior once coined "Voodoo Economics"

40 years hmmmm oh the 70s. Vietnam Nixon ford carter and then Reagan. Oh Reagan and your antitax movement.

my complaint has nothing to do with that neighborhood. I'm just saying the government operates in this fashion. There is tax money for improvement in the areas that need it they just don't bother because cities are interested in keeping their face up.

I don't know how road jobs are relevant. You can not keep improving roads just because there are no other jobs for people to work. Sounds like you have seen gratuitous road construction. to make things worst the construction always neglects the areas that need it.

at least be grateful that your tax money is not going to the pocket of government workers,  or mostly being spent to provide vanity for high level officials. the last time I tried to get my passport done via a legal slow route, in the end before the immigration guy gave me the passport he asked me to buy him several packs of cigarettes first straight to my face, no shame whatsoever, unless I know his superior officer then suddenly everything going through express route but then again the higher you would spend on "gifts" to such guy in high places, so in the end you're being mugged by a bigger fish.

I live in a country where highway/ traffic police officers openly suggest bribe money unless you really want to take a horrible legal route which nobody chooses because it will require you to spend the whole day waiting in the police office waiting for high ranking officer to look into your case and in the end you also pay more to get your driving licence back.

It is call maintenance. In one breath (Couple of key stokes) you just complained that they are doing repairs and not doing repairs. Most of your arguments are that way.

And my point about jobs is that when people have jobs there is more tax money.

See Reagan lowered taxes and this brought in more revenue. That was because more investment from rich people caused more business. This thinking worked until those same business people moved overseas for cheaper labor, they even get tax breaks for doing so.

Then we got lucky with the internet and we were doing ok again. Then that burst and went overseas too. Then we fought two wars and those reagan Ideals of deregulation cause a banking meltdown.

Almost overnight the deficit doubled because people lost their jobs. This meant less people paying taxes and this meant more people were getting money from the government.

That is why I brought it up. Those guys out there, maintaining the road are bringing in tax revenue, while providing you with a new street to use. If we raised that taxes, then we could build more roads.

Here is another example. Medicaid. The population is old and dying. Between medicaid and medicare and the knew healthcare system. That is going to be a lot of work when they baby boomers start dying. They raise taxes on the rich, and leave them the same for healthcare workers and such and bam! More tax revenue and it just means that people that make over $200,000 have to by one less house next year... Boo hoo.

Taxes are a necessary evil of capitalism. Now, if you want nobody to EVER pay taxes. Go somewhere that's purely communist. They do not have it easy either.

I am happy with paying taxes, i just think the bands need to be more sensible (here) in which you start paying the top tax rate of 38% or something when you get $60k per year. That's a bad point. Should be more round the $120k mark (these are NZ pay rates and they actually rather suck)

Also, you don't fix or maintain things that are infrequently used or not in the important public's eye. Fixing those is done with leftovers. Governments need to be properly rich and not corrupt to get everything working properly.

Capitalism is fucked at the moment anyway and it may be some time before it functions again (and 30 years later it'll fall over again cos that's what it does)

them bribes sound like a pain. You're government is just straight corrupt. I don't know how places get like that. It makes me scared that our government could take a worse turn. But that is not the same type of issue,( not quite) that I'm complaining about. perhaps it's a lesser versions or the start of corruption.

A few people doing road work in streets that were repaved two years ago and neglecting streets else where that haven't been maintenance in 20 years isn't going to do much for the economy. I'd just say this: you companies that are over seas, if you don't put half of your factories here in the US I will personally ban your products from being sold here for the remainder if my term.
If I was president I wouldn't mind abusing my power like that.

but I think the majority of working people pay tax automatically since their salary already deducted for tax of which their company pay collectively, again in my country the system is abused since they markdown the number of their employees somehow so they pay less tax.

only entrepreneurs, dentists, architects, plumbers, etc. how many percentage that is compared to just plain salary-men / women who pay income tax automatically?

I don't mind paying income tax when I know for sure it is spent lawfully, I don't want to pay tax just so our city major can sell the last year toyota camry for a brand new benz, or to demolish a  perfectly fine office building to build more luxurious one just because some developers approach him with a proposal including an interesting scheme to mark up the project cost so both party will get some parts of the cake or something along that line.

hum....some of that is what seemed to be happening in central Ohio. Maybe they are corrupt there and that has twisted my views. I do remember a project to remodel the supreme court building going massively over budget with crush velvet chairs and gold leaf paint.
 They also built a new court house. I thought they were gonging to tear the old one down due to asbestos. Turn out the higher courts or something are moving to the new building while the jail and other stuff are staying in the old one.
I think they built a new court house because people were tired of the scary black elevators in the old one.

I studied architecture but at that time we don't have our own building, we shared classes with civil engineer, and then halfway of my study time, suddenly there was a budget to build a new 3storey building so our study program got its own designated classroom, yet within one year the tiles start exploding, door frames, staircase railing and student chairs falling apart, since instead of using screw the contractor use nails to safe cost. here any projects that has word government in it are straight corrupt.

If the painters had vapor respirators for the kind of work they did they wouldn't have died due to the smoke after a fire broke out. Not government related though. Shitty construction is never fun. Did the tiles explode when it got hot. I was at a school once that told me that the tiles will fall down if the temp got around 98.

The president wouldn't be able to prevent companies from going overseas, or taking a majority of their production facilities overseas. That's congress and the senate, who had at some point made laws to essentially punish US companies from setting up in cheaper parts of the world through higher taxation. But since the Reagan era, it's been going back and forth between regulation and deregulation so often that there are literally hundreds of loop-holes in existing laws that allow large corporations to make much, much, much more money by having the manufacturing/workforce largely set in other countries.

  • Are you pondering what I'm pondering?
they are in the ghetto because they do not make enough money but if you make over ( I think 6000 in a year) you have to pay income tax.

Standard deduction was 5700 last year, personal exemption was 3650.  Thats for a single person with no dependants.  There is also EIC and MWPC which is money GIVEN by the government to working people, it's not taxes that you already paid and are being refunded to you.  People have to make a lot more than 6000 before they have to "pay" income taxes.

I'm not sure just how much the president can abuse their power through executive orders. I was thinking of presidents of the past and how much power they had. As far and I can remember during the past 100 years our presidents have gained more power. Sorry if I can't find the extremes for acceptable abuse of power.

well our buildings are not that wrong design wise, but the materials used are different than ones from the specification, like instead of screws the contractor use nails, use cheap wood so the door build up torsion and after few months it can't close, or sped up the work without giving proper time for the under layer to cure properly, so the wall paint flakes off the wall and use less cement to install floor tile etc. but only happens in government subsidized projects, public schools, public toilets, terminals, etc.

So the government is the only cheep ass. I would think you would have problem with buildings that are built by businesses too.
Maybe your laws are so that only the government can get away with doing that stuff. Over here the government goes over budget with the stuff that they build.

hum...maybe over there people who get a contract to work with the government get paid before they do the project. Meaning they want to cut cost in buying supplies, employees and hours worked.

Over here I think they are sometimes paid a portion before the work is done then the rest after it finished so there for they want to spend as much time working and offering the government supervisors more stuff to add to the project. They know they will rack up the price on whatever more expensive type of carpet they recommend calming it took extra money to get it shipped here.

in a corrupt country the money on paper won't be the same with the money in reality, so the specification written in tender document is different than what executed, otherwise there would be impossible for a proposal of student desk design being put together by some nails would pass any tender.

and how the practice can be done so freely because the corruption is not done by certain individual instead everybody get their pocket filled by dirty money, when nobody is clean, so nobody dares to speak against it, when somebody work in a corrupt government and try to be clean clean, then nobody will promote him because he can't be trusted, and in the end he will have to accept being corrupt or tolerant with the situation because it is how it works.

in the police office whenever I want to extend my driving license the officer behind the counter already ask me immediately, this will take a long time, if you don't have much time there is a highway, that will cost you so much.

last time I took the normal way to extend my driving license they gave me a whole bunch of forms that all looked the same and with the same contents where I have to fill my name, address, occupation, etc.  over and over again just to piss me off for not taking the suggested highway, while they already have those data in their computer, and later on the print out it showed the old data I had written the first time I applied for my driving licence in highschool when I was 3cm shorter, and my occupation was student, means they didn't change anything, and those forms I just filled went straight to the dustbin.  :P the officers of the law bully honest people around.
